What can I say? Pupe’s Airbnb Chinatown rentals far exceeding my expectations and imagination!!! Traveling solo, I actually stayed in both listings as a 4 day stretch wasn’t available last minute. I got the best of both worlds! I am a SuperHost myself with over 160 5 star reviews. I know what makes an Airbnb listing and host stand out above the rest. Pupe and her listings are absolutely fabulous! She herself is this bubbly tiny woman with the energy and strength of 10 men (lol) and one smart lady, I doubt much passes her attention. Her Shophouse listings are out of this world! I love antiques and unusual cool funky places....they were like no other! The attention to detail in decorating and quality of antiques are stunning! Very artistic and creative in design! Yet it felt open and airy as these are quite massive spaces. My bathrooms (with showers) were private and I had a fridge, and a garden sun terrace all my own. Great place to enjoy a cold beer in the warm evening! The desk and vintage table light were actually quite nice too. Wi-Fi worked great. I slept so soundly: bed is comfy, AC and fan works fantastic, and I thought it was quiet (and this was over Chinese NewYear’s too!) Pupe was available 24/7 and being unfamiliar in Chinatown, that was really reassuring. I had to call her up because I didn’t think my key was working and within minutes her husband showed up and showed me the Correct door (OMG, I was so embarrassed but they were so very gracious and understanding) I was able to walk to Chinatown easily and transportation is a breeze there. Taxi ride from airport was only 500 baht.
If you want just a bed, let someone who appreciates this place stay here. It’s that awesome!!! It was honestly one of the best listings and experiences I’ve had using Airbnb. I highly highly recommended it. Given the choice between both places I suggest the one not attached to the bar/restaurant but both places are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!!
